Although I have adored tortoises for a while but only from a distance, I have ever had the chance to be able to have one as a family member, that is until a a few months ago when a friend mentioned she was looking for a new home for her 16/17 year old girl Tilly (she is only re-homing due to health problems and not being able to give Tilly the attention she needs all of the time).
So today Tilly has come to her new home with me, she has an existing setup and I have bee reading all I can about tortoises, I already have 1 cat, 2 hamsters and 3 bunnys so I always have plenty of greens in.
She currently has wood pellets in her viv but I did buy a bag of eco earth (i think it was) a couple of weeks ago which I am hoping to mix in eventually. She also has banana flavour komodo pellets to eat (although can't remember how much she normally gets), she'll be getting some greens daily.
I know that she needs to be soaked in water a couple of times a week (about half an inch deep?), I will be getting a cuttlefish this week as she has none left.
I am not sure if there is anything else I need to do for today, she has 2 bulbs in her viv and I will be doing a full clean this week (I did a spot clean after she got here).
